If I kill the Devil Walker during the free roaming mode, does the door behind him open?

I tried to kill one earlier this morning but I was alone lol,so I couldn't do it,even with my special and a Rocket Launcher(3 ammo) at level 7...was fun trying though :P
 
I got disconnected after a round in crucible last night so I assumed it was the end of it and went to bed. Why oh why did I not try connect again!? Oh well, Im at work now and only got 5 hrs sleep so maybe thats a good thing.

Yeah... I think I will just run out of ammo before I can kill him.

Anyone here up for making a 3-team and just search for cool new places?

Nope. Tried that... was disappoint.

Edit: Beaten!

Also... speaking of areas you can't get into... did anybody else find the are that comes up on screen as something like "Jericho Center" or the like inside a building that appears to be going somewhere and then seems artificially blocked off for the beta?
 
Damn... and I wonder if I've missed any place. I went all the way to the end of the dry sea and sneaked all the way past the Hive Shrieker thing only to end up showing on the refinery that's on your way to the walker guy..

I've also gone to the area where the demo is... wonder if there's something else.
 
This game is so gyatdamned good. I found myself primarily playing PvE, as I wasn't too excited about the PvP for some reason, and Havok's write-up is pretty spot-on.

That entire thing needs to be sent to Bungie ASAP.

Same. I've always been more of a PvP guy in Bungie games; however, Destiny's MP was just sorta "meh" to me. I feel like i won't be spending much time in it compared to the PvE modes.

I found that place going through a hive ship at skywatch, and there is a bunker in the basement of a building on the way to the divide which is set up in a similar fashion. Must be something with story mode and strikes.

I think it's to soon to judge it. There was only one multiplayer mode and two maps. Plus we we're all only level 8.

Very true... good point. Maybe it's just because i find the PvE sooo much fun. I can tell you one thing... i will be disappointed if there are no arena-style maps! Bungie always did arena multiplayer so damn well.

Gotcha. Yeah, sounds like that.



I'm not exploring the King's Watch area, but Bungie has locked the path with some door so I can't keep going... (this is around the Rocketyard)


:(

I will see if I can find anything else on the Blind Steppes...

I was there last night hanging with that skeleton on the right. Peeked through the windows.
 
Has anyone else had problems connecting to the game consistently? It won't keep me signed in when I play and if it does it times out from their servers fairly quickly. :(
 
I leveled a Warlock and a Hunter to 8. Still not sure which class I wanna roll with when the game hits. Both are pretty awesome, I just don't like the Hunter's super move that much when compared to the Warlocks energy blast. But dem throwing knives!

DECISIONS....

I chose the Hunter because I like Lone Wolves archetypes. Also, dem throwing knives.
 
So the best gear I found, was bought from a loot vendor that randomizes his stock... That doesn't make it very rewarding.. Still day one though.
 
I think people are reading too much into "expert mode". It probably means they're doing some things on their end (server side), I doubt we'll get something in the game.
 
I don't usually gush over games,but this game hits all the buttons for me. Sci Fi, loot and good combat. I cannot wait until September for this game. I think the one thing that bothers me is that the ships don't serve a purpose other than a loading screen. Maybe we will get our own ships to walk around in and store equipment,etc.
 
I don't know if this has to do with "expert mode" but I'm getting massive player warping in crucible and my ping is fine. Wasn't like this yesterday. Maybe they're stress testing servers?
 
The more I play, the stronger the temptation to pre-order is... Jesus, what should I do? Could Destiny be an even bigger thing than Halo?

It is for me. I love the the whole Guardian lore of protecting the world as "yourself", as opposed to a linear Master Chief story.

Destiny feels more personal.

I hope it is but realistically I don't think it will be. It has the whole quasi borderlands/Halo baby MMO thing going on and that's going to turn some off. Then it's made by Bungie so that will again turn some off just because they want to stick it to Bungie due to some midguided feeling of having been betrayed, etc. Then last but not least it requires online play. That's going to be another stumbling block for some.

I think it will end up doing great though ultimately.

PVE yes, PVP no way. Halo had no real competition when it was huge. Now everything competes with CoD and BF. I was surprised at how few people cared enough to watch Twitch streams of Destiny PVP this past weekend.

I'm glad too, because this game really shines in PVE. PVP is incredibly weak. So I hope Bungie puts most of their time and effort into bringing us more and more great co-op PVE encounters.
 
Do the later armors look different? At least early on the armors I saw were a bit uninspired and generic looking. I'm not asking for spikes and horns and fire, but hopefully there's cooler stuff.
 
I can't believe it's still going.

Ugh. When we signed off last night, my wife and I deleted our Alpha files. Oh regret, you taste like shit.
